LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Identify the distinguishing differences between the four primary definitions of "net-zero" energy buildings in terms of energy consumption, energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Describe the key steps in an integrative process and how it drives a project team to make better-informed decisions toward realizing demonstrable high-performance/net-zero energy outcomes and positive related environmental impacts.
- Define the major strategies embodied by the architectural investment portfolio, and describe how such strategies can positively influence the project and site development to save energy, conserve natural resources and lessen the built environment's impact on global carbon emissions.
- Describe the importance of design performance modeling and how it can be leveraged to best impact energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and improve occupant comfort.
